In Pakistan, the gravest and most significant incidents are often labeled as accidents or tragedies, and those responsible for them are able to escape accountability. The separation of East and West Pakistan was one of the biggest events in Pakistan's history, yet it was labeled as a "tragedy" and this term is still used in textbooks. This labelling has enabled those who committed atrocities and crimes during this period to avoid prosecution and punishment.
This pattern of labeling serious incidents as accidents or tragedies and allowing perpetrators to escape accountability is dangerous, as it creates a culture of impunity that can embolden criminals and encourage them to commit further atrocities. Unless this trend is reversed, criminals will continue to act with impunity, confident that they will not be held responsible for their actions.
